1960 Map of Pinon

About this map

Fountain Creek winds through this Colorado landscape, creating a fertile riparian corridor flanked by the industrial and transport infrastructure of the mid-20th century. Parallel rail lines, the Denver and Rio Grande Western and the Atchison Topeka and Sante Fe, dominate the western half of the map, serving small settlements like Piñon, Bragdon, and Young. This transport corridor was vital for both passenger service and the movement of resources like those from the local Gravel Pits.
